April Half-Full Is Here
April Half-Full is our first big action—a campaign to raise awareness and funds through engagement and entertainment. Inspired by the upcoming 40th anniversary of Live Aid, we aim to make a dent in global hunger by 2030. Join us today!
April Half-Full 2025 is Amplified Aid’s first initiative to raise hunger awareness and funds through music, launching mid-April 2025. Inspired by Live Aid’s 1985 legacy, this campaign transforms April Fool into a “Full April” effort to combat global hunger. At its core, April Half-Full sells original tester tracks of Classical music remixes and mashups for $1 each — 50% of proceeds fund meals and sustainable aid — while weaving in educational content, social media challenges, and community engagement.
Key goals include:
- Raising $5,000
- Engaging 5000+ Supporters
- Proving Music’s Power for Sustainable Change.
The campaign wraps on April 30 with a recap and call for feedback, setting the stage for a Live Aid 40th anniversary celebration in July 2025. April Half-Full amplifies hunger relief one track at a time.
